The smart alternative path to a degree

Gain practical skills in one year with an Advanced Diploma, then work and further your career at the same time as completing your Degree. Williams has assisted hundreds of its students to follow this smart alternative approach to Higher Education.

Williams Advanced Diploma and Diploma graduates meet the minimum entry requirements for most Australian universities. Provided you have completed HSC or equivalent and meet minimum entry grades in your Williams course, you can apply to any university or Higher Education Provider (HEP) for credit transfer or advanced standing into one of their relevant undergraduate degrees.

Each university or HEP grants credit differently depending on their policies, the subjects and results achieved in your Diploma or Advanced Diploma at Williams, and other study or experience in your life. For example, some universities and HEPs give block credit based on the qualification achieved while others apply credit on a subject-by-subject basis. We can advise you on the best way to structure your program if you are seeking to continue on to degree level, and will help you in your selection of and application to universities or HEPs..
